Stories are one of the most natural forms of communication. Whatever your native tongue is, the first language was given to you through stories and songs. Storytelling quite simply is the art of telling stories. Like any good craft, it may seem like magic to the listener. However, anyone can learn it.
The professional world has increasinly embraced Storytelling tactics. Professionals from diverse areas use Storytelling methods as a powerful way of communicating their message.
Storytelling in English will give you the tools to use English in a playful yet effective and commanding way. Too often when using a language other than our native tongue, we get caught on searching for the exact right word or stop ourselves as we’re not quite sure what the correct grammar is. Learning and applying Storytelling skills will help you get to the heart of what it is you want to say and help you avoid getting caught in these traps that otherwise break your flow.
This course will draw on a wide-array of elements from Storytelling Pedagogy, humanistic and naturalistic language training, and crossovers with musical and theatrical methods.
